Echo/Neutra Watch: Rivanera Blue Second/Second/

ECHO/NEUTRA Blue Rivanera: the collaboration with Seconde/Seconde

The echo neutra blue rivanera is a manual-wind watch resulting from a collaboration with French artist Seconde/Seconde. He brings his touch of whimsy to this titanium watch, designed to embody the sober and lasting style that characterizes the young Italian brand echo neutra. Its 40x27mm grade 5 titanium case with a sandblasted, refined, and perfectly proportioned finish showcases a textured blue dial modified by Seconde/Seconde.

This dial, adorned with a "Clous de Paris" guilloché pattern, is directly inspired by the acoustic solutions used in recording studios. These technical structures, designed to absorb resonances and reduce echoes, find a subtle horological interpretation here. A nod that aligns with the identity of Echo/Neutra, whose logo, discreetly crossed out on the dial, echoes this mastered sound-related play.

The echo neutra Rivanera is protected by a flat sapphire crystal. The hands and indices are designed in an Art Deco style, adding curves and maximum contrast to the raw, fine-grained sandblasted titanium case. On the blue Rivanera, the contrast is found as much in the style as it is in the colors, materials, and light reflections.

At its heart, the Rivanera beats to the rhythm of the Swiss Elaboré ETA 7001 caliber, a manual movement renowned for its thinness and reliability, with a 42-hour power reserve. The movement is highlighted by a transparent case back. This is very judicious, as echo/neutra has enhanced this caliber with its name and logo engraved in gold on the Geneva stripe finish.
